3 Saving Hacks for a Road Trip to Niagara Falls

From inspired cuisine and impressive wineries to the beautiful waterfalls which are thought of as the eighth world wonder, there is a lot to see in and around Niagara Falls. The truth is, even locals miss many of the attractions and return over and over, either for a day trip or a weekend escape. Whether you’re a visitor to Ontario or even a local from the Greater Toronto Area visiting for a weekend, this article will help you experience more for less in Niagara Falls. 

The Wonder Pass allows you to experience the top natural wonders of this city! Once you search this pass, you’ll realize that the full experience of Niagara Falls is much more than a nice walk admiring the falls. The pass is valid anytime from October 30 to March 31, and includes 5 attractions as well as transportation for up to 60% off! If you don’t have time to visit all of them in one day, you can visit them at anytime throughout the season.

Parking in Niagara Falls can be a nightmare. First of all, it can be hard to find an affordable parking spot, as parking near the falls can be pricey (up to $40 daily maximum). Many visitors will park along Clifton Hill, after driving around to find an affordable place to park. However, in 2023, the Niagara Parks Commission added the Niagara Parks Parking Pass to make parking affordable. For a low price of $45, visitors can buy a pass valid until the end of the year, and get unlimited parking all year long. And the best part: it is also valid for the priciest parking lots, located directly in front of the falls! Now that is a deal, right? But that’s not it. The pass is valid for up to 2 different vehicles! So, if you have more than one car in the family, you can register 2 cars, and get 2 physical passes to have one in each car! If you’re a frequent visitor to Niagara Falls, this pass will end up saving you hundreds of dollars!

Did you know about these hacks? We’re from Toronto and never knew them for years, trip after trip, which we now regret! Don’t make the same mistake, and definitely buy one of these passes for the best savings!
